2021 (2) TMI 882 - Tri - Insolvency and BankruptcyWithdrawal from CIRP on the ground that the Applicant is in the process of re-structuring the debt of the Corporate Debtor - Seeking indulgence and challenging the action of IRP, of not filing the application of withdrawal of CIRP of the Corporate Debtor - section 60(5) and section 12A of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code, 2016 - HELD THAT:- The Bench observed that the Interim Resolution Professional has acted fair and has taken actions as per requirements of the Code judiciously. It is a settled law by the Hon'ble Supreme Court through various judicial pronouncements that Corporate Insolvency Resolution Proceedings (CIRP) are proceedings in rem. On the issue as to which event is crucial for withdrawal of CIRP, as per the law laid down by Hon'ble K.C. Sanjeev v. Easwara Pillai Kesavan Nair [2020 (8) TMI 542 - NATIONAL COMPANY LAW APPELLATE TRIBUNAL, NEW DELHI], the relevant date for considering withdrawal of CIRP is the date of application and nothing else. As a matter of fact, in this case no application for withdrawal of CIRP has ever been filed by the Interim Resolution Professional before the Adjudicating Authority, rather this IA has been filed by the assignee of financial creditor. As is evident from the records, since CoC has already been constituted in this case, any application for withdrawal of CIRP has to comply with regulation 30A (1) (b) of CIRP regulations read with Section 12 A of IBC-2016. Application dismissed.
